TIFU: Sleepwalking Me Ordered $200 Worth of plastic Pudgy Penguins

TL;DR: Sleepwalking me bought over $200 worth of plastic penguins, and now I have 20 boxes of pudgy penguin toys coming to invade 🐧🐧🐧🐧🐧🐧🐧

So, I’ve been sleepwalking for years. Sometimes it’s harmless. Soemtimes I eat something I wanted to enjoy in the morning. But my biggest problem is sleep-shopping. I’ve had my share of incidents in the past (I still have ugly socks somewhere), but I thought I had it under control. Maybe I outgrew it you know? I thought maybe this was over.

Woke up yesterday to find a medium-sized box on my porch. Opened it up and its A box full of plastic pudgy penguin toys. figured it might’ve been a weird mistake I was planning to see if maybe I had stuff sent to the wrong address. maybe a friend trolling me.

This morning there’s another box of penguins. Went to check my Ebay account and shows 20+ separate orders for these chubby little penguin figures from different sellers. TWENTY BOXES. The main issue is I bought this on a credit card.

So now there's a colony of penguins en route to my house, and have no idea what to do with them. Build some kind of plastic penguin shrine? Start a penguin army and take over my neighborhood? RIP rent money, I needed to buy fkn penguins. Edit FUCK! I spent $250 on this~!~!

Edit: I'm so confused how this charged my CC in the first place. Ebay was set to use Debit card as primary payment

Edit: some of these sellers are insane. "shipping fee" that almost equals the price of the item sold.

TIFU - Don’t do what I did

On Sunday morning Aug. 24th, I awoke to discover a large blind spot in my right eye, which turned out to be what is called wet age-related macular degeneration (AMD). It has resulted in a very significant, permanent loss of vision in that eye. Although I maintain good peripheral vision, whatever I focus on at best is very blurry, and mostly disappears. I can barely make out the large E at the top of the eye chart. If this happens to my left eye I’ll be unable to read or drive. It turns out that I missed the opportunity that I had to prevent this from becoming a serious problem because I failed to report what appeared to be minor changes in my vision. In the weeks prior to August I had noticed that what I knew to be straight lines appeared to my right eye to have a little waviness. I also noticed that the color of my front lawn, which I could see through the window from my recliner,  was subdued, looked almost gray, in my right eye. So I scheduled an eye exam, which revealed the p...

TIFU by getting suspended for 2 days by my front office in school.

I (13M) am an African American student at Jeannette junior high who had got suspended for 2 days here. I was in math class minding my business until my teacher had told me to go to the main office, which posed no problem to me. As i went down there, the people of the front office had stopped me and made me get a new ID (yes, we have id's.) so i had asked them if i could maybe do a different alternative and call my mother to let her bring the Id here, even then, the Id isn't that important. So, although i was talking to them in a calm manner and not showing any signs of rebellion, they had threatened to call the police on me without thinking twice before calling my parents. This is where i started getting angry, and even then now the black peers agree that could have been a racially motivated action. They then told me to sit in the office conference room because of that, leading into more anger. They had then called my mother who had came over to the school didn't even let ...

TIFU by putting my already skinny jeans in the dryer on high heat.

TL;DR: Was stupid and didn't realize I put my clothes on extra high heat in the dryer. Had to rock skintight skinny jeans all day with tighty whities (only clean pair I had since I procrastinate doing laundry like crazy). I guess the constant wedgies and squishing are punishment for my stupidity. Honestly don’t know who else to blame but myself for this. I’m a scatterbrained guy so I literally put the highest setting on a load with most of my clothes, and my skinny jeans that I was planning to wear today. You can probably already see where this is going, but somehow I didn’t. For context, these jeans were already pushing the limits of what could reasonably be called wearable. They fit, technically, but only in the sense that I could get them on with enough determination and a bit of strategic breathing. Sitting down in them was more of a commitment than a casual action. Still, they looked good, and I had convinced myself that discomfort was just part of the aesthetic. So this m...
